I thought it was pretty good. Seems like you have pretty solid strokes. However, you could definitely add a little more "umph" to your serve. You seem a little rushed on your serve and your ball toss is a little low it seems (maybe it just me). I would toss a little more into the court with a higher toss, and get all your weight behind the serve. This is just a suggestion, I know you know how to serve but just trying to help. Otherwise I thought you were pretty solid
oh yeah, one more question (ill probably think of more later), are you self taught or did you take lessons? Also, how many years have you been playing. Sorry for bombarding you with questions like this, but I just want to get an idea of how many years people at your level have been playing and if they spent like a million dollars on lessons when they were young.
For example, I'm self taught and have been playing for roughly 2 years, and my friend who is at the same level has had $8000 in lessons and has been playing since he was 9. He's not joking either.
Thanks
Not saying you shouldn't take lessons, just something to think about
Exactly, thats what I thought too. Therefore, if you have good technique, then what's to practice? I can't even imagine what you would want to work on, you have a solid game from what I could tell. I mean, we have this site and so far its done the trick for me. BB and others give great advice
I never would have thought :-? If this is the case this is what I would suggest:
1. Make your serve a priority. I'm telling you from experience that your whole game will improve if you know you can hold your service games. You won't be pressured as much while playing and you'll actually build your mental game (at least for me). My serve is by far my biggest weapon, and as a result I'm always comfortable and relaxed because I know all I need to do is break my opponent once in each set to win
2. I would work on your forehand next. As you know by know, you have a pretty big take back on your forehand and its pretty wristy which will lead to inconsistency. Being 1 on 1 with a pro will help with this more than spending time on the internet. It's just one of those things
As for your backhand and footwork, I'll leave that up to you to decide if its worth the money. Ask BB for footwork drills and I'm sure he will give you great ones, and you can apply those on your own. Your backhand looked like your best wing so I'm not going to comment there; you know your abilities better than anyone.
Anyway, hope this helped. Just try to prioritize what you really need to work on and maybe in the end you can even save some money
